Tac-tics Posted 19 June, 2009 Share Posted 19 June, 2009 Sky Sports: Needs to be done by 5 at the latest. Administrator deal to be done hopefully, Mark Fry had a meeting. Understand the hold up is FL, Finaances and fit and proper all fine, the way the deal has been set is the problem, the FL seem to be annoyed that Pinnicle have proved we are'nt linked to the parent company.

SaintsAddict Posted 19 June, 2009 Share Posted 19 June, 2009 According to SSN, hold up due to us trying to get out of the 10 points penalty and the football league aren't having any of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katalinic Posted 19 June, 2009 Share Posted 19 June, 2009 (edited) So, in a nutshell the FL won't ratify the deal unless we admit the companies were linked and therefore we can't then appeal the 10 points. They have got us by the balls. Edited 19 June, 2009 by Katalinic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintBobby Posted 19 June, 2009 Share Posted 19 June, 2009 Gary Cotterill - the SSN reporter - did say that the hold-up was based around the new owners seeking to extricate the club from the points deduction and that this was detailed and technical (and he wouldn't go into the full detail because it was complex business techno babble). Mark Fry has, however, phoned the reporter to say he remains confident that the deal will be completed today. At a (total) guess, I'm assuming the paper work sent to the Football Laegue says something along the lines of "Southampton Football Club, which is and has always been a going concern, is to be tranferred to Pinnacle's ownership. Southampton Leisure Holdings, who have gone into administration, have had their assets split in the following ways. Blah blah blah" Presumably, a sign off on such paperwork by the FL coudl aid an appeal on the points deduction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saints foreva Posted 19 June, 2009 Share Posted 19 June, 2009 If we admit we were linked, we will face a CVA and that could well be another 15 points. Football clubs never get CVA's But do we owe anything to the HMRC(?)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitzhugh Fella Posted 19 June, 2009 Share Posted 19 June, 2009 Surely the FL holding Pinnnacle to ransom like this is highly illegal and challengeable.

Sounds rather pathetic doesn't it. Who's gonna back down first.... Can the FL do this? I would have thought there are certain things they need to check re: fit and proper persons test. But can they block the takeover just because they don't like our intention to appeal or disagree with the new owners re: the legality of the points deduction? I'd say Pinnacle should hold firm. Even if this means the press conference being "pushed back" to Monday. Other than the frustration for all of us, does it matter if the final closure on the deal is shortly after the expiration of the exclusivity period? I doubt Marc Jackson will come up with a more credible offer than Pinnacle between now and Monday. Although I guess he will probably make a total t*t of himself by trying...
